The Little Reminders

Today I am grateful for the little things in life that serve as reminders to us.

Yesterday I heard this song on the radio and it really hit home for me. We've just been so busy lately trying to fit back into life and this was a nice little reminder to slow down and enjoy the ride.

"You're Gonna Miss This"by Trace Adkins

She was staring out the window of their SUVComplaining, saying "I can't wait to turn 18"She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the schoolThen she kissed her head and said "I was just like you"

You're gonna miss thisYou're gonna want this backYou're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fastThese are some good timesSo take a good look aroundYou may not know it nowBut you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new brideIn a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops byHe tells her "It's a nice place"She says "It'll do for now"Starts talking about babies and buying a houseDaddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down"

Cause you're gonna miss thisYou're gonna want this backYou're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fastThese are some good timesSo take a good look aroundYou may not know it nowBut you're gonna miss this

You're gonna miss thisYou're gonna want this backYou're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fastThese are some good timesSo take a good look aroundYou may not know it nowBut you're gonna miss this"

(If you've never heard it before, I added it to my playlist at the bottom of this page)

HI Lindsey!!!! Do you remember me from 5th ward? I so didn't know you married a Miller?! Joe's brother John is in my ward here in Jacksonville. Small world! I have been having such a fun time finding new blogs to stalk! Your boys are TOO adorable!

p.s. I LOVE the way you use different font sizes, and I am TOTALLY going to copy you! hee hee!

I haven't heard this song before, but I loved reading it on your blog. Now I am going to listen to it! It is sooooo true that we always want to jump ahead, yet now I have reached an age that I want time to slow down!
